Christopher Wren, the architect who designed St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, wrote about the reactions of construction workers on the site who were asked what they were doing.  Those workers who were tired or bored responded by saying, “I’m laying brick” or “I’m carrying stones.”  But one worker, who was mixing cement, seemed cheerful and enthusiastic about his work.  When wren asked him what he was doing, the man replied, “I’m building a magnificent cathedral!”

God did not create us to be bored or unfulfilled in our life’s work.  In fact it is just the opposite.  For Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 10:31, “whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
